[Putters] Best putter that covers all shots

[Marmoset]

...I feel the bead is messing with me...

Is this the only thing that you don't like about Wizards?
If so then the Warlock is a fantastic non-beaded replacement. The Warlock is very slightly less HSS but still interchangeable.

The best Discraft option is the Challenger IMO. This also has a bead so you might be back in the same boat. I will say that the Challenger bead isn't as pronounced as the Wizard bead, at least not for my putting grip. I putt with a weird pinch/fan combination.

Breaker is OS and Steady has a sizeable bead.

They could try Soft X or D Ringers for putting duties and stable to US drives, and the Breaker for OS. I cycle Proline Breakers and have them going dead straight till the ground.

I've never thrown Wizards, so no idea how they compare, but for me Shields cover all duties well. I currently bag 5; VIP for drives, BT Hard/Soft for approach, 2x BT Medium for putting. I will say, a lot of people feel the Shield seems a little deep in the hand (I have giant hands and have never noticed this), but may be an option with checking out for you.

Bunch of wizards and a scale. Or go warlocks and a whatever the warlock version of a scale is.

 

[Emoney]

You already throw the Breaker and Steady. What are those not doing for you?

I tried the steady. Don't throw it now because of how fragile the D plastic is. Still use the breaker for overstable duties only. Would never putt with it

 

[brutalbrutus]

Challenger.

 

[Emoney]

I tried the challenger before and couldn't get used to the puddle tops. I did like them a little though.

Warlock seems like a good fit. I will def try one of those.

If you like wizards I'd say work with them and learn to love the bead.

There is always this...

I hated the bead on the Aviar soooooo much when I started I tried EVERYTHING else (which at the time was like five discs) to putt with. The BB Aviar seemed to catch on my finger during the release, so I did the usual "blame the disc" thing. I was putting with 86 Softies when I went minimalist with my bag. I couldn't drive an 86 Softie to save my life. I ended up sucking it up and using BB Aviars. I got used to it. The bead wasn't the issue, it was just that the disc was deep and I had to work out my release.

That being said, I love Warlocks. I didn't throw them becasue I had stacks of Wizards and Wizards are great. The Warlock just clicks with me more. I finally bit the bullet and bought a stack of Warlocks. I don't miss Wizards at all.

If you're looking for one mold to rule them all, and it has to be Discraft/DGA, then go with the Challenger. You can cover all stabilities with the different plastics available.

Axiom Envy, last disc you will ever need

^If they do actually bring out a Proton Atom that would better fit his needs.

I disagree. Only because the Envy is the single best disc ever produced. You can beat one in to straight, and have fresh for more OS duties.

To the OP. I carry 3 Envies. One for putting, one for approaches and drives. and one for more OS approaches and drives.

That being said, I also carry 2 Proxies for driving, but my beat up putting Envy could replace the Proxies if I wanted to carry less.

In my full bag I also carry a Spin for turnover drives, and an Atom, just because I'm trying to beat it into a slightly more stable Spin for less exaggerated turnover drives. I also carry a Harp, which could be considered a putter, for more OS than Envy needs.

In my quick round bag, I drop all putters except my beat Envy and it can cover all the shots. Better than my Omega ever did for me.

I tried a Jawbreaker Roach and liked it quite a bit, or Challenger of course.

I was assuming the OP was looking for a disc that comes in premium and baseline, which is why I made that statement. Don't get me wrong I love the envy also.

Roach is beadless. I prefer beadless putters too. Used Pures for everything for a while and that worked well for me, Lat64 makes it in a variety of plastics.

If you want to stick to discraft/DGA I would venture to guess the challenger will be your best bet.

I am a little biased but I have never found anything that comes close to being as versatile as the discmania P2. In D line it is great for putting and throwing duties. Fresh they can handle a full power rip and go dead straight to slight fade. As they beat in they become even better. I bag 2 D lines one which is perfectly neutral and one that is slightly understable. The P line is a great putting putter and holds its stablilty for a long time. Finally either the s line or the C line ,luster or otherwise, are amazing OS throwers. They aren't zone stable by any means but they can confidently be thrown in wind and handle flex lines like no other.

I just recently did this myself, and settled on the P2 as my putter of choice. I bag x-lines for putting, and an s-line for driving/approaches. Fantastic disc that will cover most any shot.

I recommend trying it. I will say I was concerned because it is kind of deep, and I'm not usually a fan. I went for it anyway and loved it.

I do carry a Prodigy A-1 for hyzers, sidearm, and windy approaches. It isn't technically a putter but works mostly in the same range for me.

I think Challenger is solid (D, jawbreaker, and FLX. I don't like the Z FLX Chally's I've thrown) for what the OP wants. But like others have said, I feel like it's just better to use different putters...

Pure could fit the bill but wouldn't be great if you want forehand possibilities. Envy wouldn't be my choice, as I strongly dislike the feel for putting (and forehand). Behaves more like a mid than a putter, in my estimation.

All that said, if you already have 6 wizards, maybe you should keep using 'em.

Ya, I picked up an S-line P2 one morning when I left my bag at home. Stuck an 80 foot approach that day and parked a lot of approaches, so I've been using it ever since for Drives and approaches. I just picked up a D-line and have been putting at my practice basket with it and really like it. Of course, I had just decided the Warden was my putting putter, so there is a conflict now that must be resolved

 

[ThomasOrion]

This is a can of worms. There are tons of putters out there that can do it all. BUT to best answer the question. a Non-beaded putter that comes in multiple plastic options that can do it all and is nice.

From my experiences. I really dig the Pa series. Pa3 is beaded, so for unbeaded, Pa2 is fairly stable. There's 200, 300, 350, 350 light, 400 and likely 750

The REKO seems like a good putter, but i think theres only 1 or maybe 2 plastics.


Non beaded AVIAR.....there are TONNNNNNNNNNNNNS of them and theyre are unlimited options.
